I am usually in full agreement with ryanhall, but in this case, I have to say that Kingston is definately right about the effectiveness of systema. I have a friend who studied with Vladimir for only a few classes, but the techniques he brought back to us were incredible! The first NHB fight I had against this guy after he'd been studying systema, I tried to kick him in the thigh, just above his knee. He basically trapped my ankle behind his knee and sat down! I tapped out only about 30 seconds into the match. The guy that was learning this is a JKD and Jiu-Jitsu fighter, and is one of the best fighters I've ever seen (and has been working as a bouncer for about 11 years). What he told me was that when he was in Vladimir's gym, he was being beaten by guys who had only been training for months. Here in London (Ontario, Canada), we have one of Vladimir's students, and I'd do just about anything to get him to teach.

Well, you can't win em all
. I wasn't judging Systema per se, just explaining why I generally don't like military hand to hand combat. I guess Systema would be worth a further look...
